where is $PATH set in xcode?

It looks like xcode's $PATH environment setting is different from my user shell environment.

Where does xcode get the $PATH setting from and what's the best way to append to the search path?

if you're writing a Run Shell Script build phase, you can just do:

PATH=${PATH}:/opt/local/bin

or whatever inside the script content.

XCode gets its environment variables the same way as other OS X processes, from ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist.

Check developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html for details on how to set things.

In Xcode 5 you can add your PATH as a variable to either a target or the project settings.

Add a custom variable with the +sign on the top of the page
Edit the name of the variable to be PATH and add your preferred value (e.g. /usr/local/bin for a default install of homebrew.

If you are talking specifically about the executable search path environment variable named PATH, then there are a few places that it is set:

In your shell settings if it is a command line tool. Depending on your shell, this could be ~/.cshrc, ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, etc.
In the environment.plist file that was mentioned earlier.
If you are in a debugger, then it is whatever gdb uses. I believe that gdb will read commands from ~/.gdbinit if it exists.
XCode lets you set environment variables within the Info page for executables.

The easiest solution is to add the PATH variable in Xcode.

Xcode doesn't look at your shell path environment.

Have a look at NSProcessInfo; and do an NSLog to see what comes up.

If you want a path to apply to all graphical programs you need to set up the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. as described.

The recommended way to set the environmen variables are actually in /etc/paths and etc/paths.d although these are also not picked up by Xcode.

I asked about this here.

Nothing was working for me in XCode 7.
You need to set the PATH variable in XCode schemes.

Found the solution at: Where to set environment variables for app?

Try opening your xcode project from the terminal, this worked for me: open some.xcodeproj

Instead of opening xcode and then loading the project or double clicking on it.

I know... silly
